rubber to make a gasket that I can CNC cut into any shape.

Hello Sneaky

I did not run the Build since I built it for someone else.

I do not like to reveal who I built it for.

Maybe when he runs it he will pop up on here and let us know.

Thanks

Joe

Beautiful work, Joe!

Thanks for the Nice words.

Is there going to be a FE Warm Up Race this February in Arizona.....

My wife and I really loved that time of year there and I loved the racing.

You all put on a great FE race.

Now that I have my own hulls we really want to go....

Let me know if the race is on....

Thanks

Hello Lennard

I just took a regular antenna tube and ran a braided push rod cable through it

tuned on my heat gun to low and let it heat up and bent it to just fit under the cowl.

the cable kept it from colapsing but be careful that black DuBro antenna tube will melt easy.

Thanks

Joe

Hey Joe,

Very COOL! Are you building these for others or was this a one off for a friend?

If you will do more how much do you charge for it?

Thanks

I've got the NAMBA P-OPC record @ 72 and change. 80 mph is possible with the right conditions/setup. Best pass to date is 78 on 4S.

Can i ask motor details ie make & size + kv for 4s was used. Thank you Martin.

I've been told a few too many times that I post inappropriate setups, so I won't post motor and prop combos anymore. I will say it's a CC/Neu.

 

[Kris Flynn]

LOL @ Brian, who the hell said that?

OBVIOUSLY your setup is for SAW and if someone thinks it is inappropriate then they should see the stuff people post on OSE LOL
